There are more seniors that struggle with substance abuse than you would think, and it is never too late for someone in Wakefield to get treatment for addiction so that they can live the remainder of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as mentally and physically stable as possible. The most prevalent substance abuse issues among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug addiction. In many cases, this is a dual issue where seniors are abusing both prescription medications and alcohol at the same time, a deadly combination. When added to the fact that seniors commonly have other physical and psychological health conditions that must be handled concurrently, it is suggested that any senior looking for addiction help should find a program that offers treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Rehab facilities which provide addiction treatment for seniors have staff trained to deliver addiction therapy and general elderly health services, including behavioral health services. Recovery will be more effective in a residential treatment program, and a safe detox from alcohol and any prescription medications that the senior has become dependent to can be performed as the first step. A complete assessment of both physical and mental conditions will be conducted so that they can be handled concurrently, because these issues are often the cause of the addiction to begin with. A thorough recovery plan will be put into action that will address the specific and personal needs of the senior.
